Set among the woods and shoreline of Upper Trelipe Lake, this 2-acre property with 176’ of shoreline offers a setting where the sounds of birds, rustling trees, and the lake itself take over. Neighboring properties are comfortably spaced, creating a peaceful sense of seclusion. The wooded lot opens into a large yard with room for gardens, outdoor games, evening campfires, or gathering with family and friends while overlooking the water. What makes this property especially memorable is its unique layout and character. A separate entrance leads to the upper-level living quarters where knotty pine walls and ceilings create a warm Northwoods atmosphere throughout. The kitchen peninsula offers seating, extra prep space for meals or gatherings, and convenient electrical outlets. Nearby, a cozy sitting area, bedroom, and ¾ bath make the space comfortable and welcoming, while a tucked-away nook provides room for coats, books, and board games after a day outdoors. The large deck becomes a natural extension of the living space with plenty of room to dine outside, relax with coffee in the morning, or simply watch wildlife move through the trees. The detailed railing work featuring wildlife and pine tree scenes adds craftsmanship and personality. Below, the lower cement and stone patio creates another inviting outdoor gathering space. The custom outdoor island with rustic tin accents makes an ideal place for grilling, serving snacks, setting up drinks, or gathering around during summer evenings at the lake. The insulated and heated tuck-under garage offers flexibility far beyond vehicle storage. With windows, living space, two separate bedrooms, refrigerator, washer, and dryer hookup already in place, the area could serve a variety of uses depending on your needs. A sliding barn-style door conceals the home’s mechanics, including the geothermal boiler heating system, while adding even more character to the space. An outdoor fire pit overlooking the lake, a storage shed, mature trees, and the peaceful surroundings complete a property that doesn’t feel cookie-cutter or ordinary. It’s a place for someone looking for something different, a lakeside setting with personality, room to gather, and space to make it their own.
